The mass of a liter of alcohol depends on the type of alcohol. On average, the density of alcohol is around 0.79 g/mL, so a liter of alcohol would have a mass of approximately 790 grams.
Alcohol is a pure substance - C2H5OH.
To prepare 1 liter of a 5% alcohol-water solution, you would mix 50 mL of alcohol with 950 mL of water. This ratio would give you a total volume of 1 liter with 5% of it being alcohol.
25 liters of alcohol can have vastly different weights, depending on the type of alcohol that is contained. 25 liters is a measure of volume. To find the weight of a volume of a substance you must know the density, and therefore the identity of the alcohol.
